Keep an open mind and enjoy it!
I like the live action. I believe every media has its own way of telling a story. Don't expect an animated project or a live action or a comic art or literature to tell a story the same way. Keep an open mind.
The best thing this live action did was showing us the details that we didn't see in the animated series like the Airbenders genocide, Azula's arc becoming a perfectionist, the roots behind Sokka's issues with his dad and why he really wants to prove to him that he's a great warrior, and what happened to the solders who Fire Lord Ozai wanted to sacrifice and Zuko stood up for and had a dule with with his Father. The lives action tried to not repeate the original material but it stayed faithful to it by showing parts of the picture that we couldn't see and told the story in a way that's straight to the point and suitable for a live action.
I like how the show handled the issue of the Northen water tribe regarding women not being allowed to fight. It ended by all women in the tribe standing up against Paku talking sense to him and the new generation of male water benders admiring katara's fighting.
Not her fighting him then he finds out that she is his ex's granddaughter then she gets a pass! I wanted to know how later the women in the northen tribe became allowed to fight because we saw in the legend of Korra her cousin Eska was allowed to fight. I just assumed that there's a time after the war Katara changed the mind of the rest of the tribe because it seemed that only Katara got a pass.
The point is things can be told differently and this depends of on the medium and budget and all those factors affect how a story should be told. You can't have fillers and extra side stories in a live action specially if it's ment to be short. This one is an adaptation. They tried to take the best elements of each episode and combined them into one story arc.
If you want something exactly similar to the source material, just go and rematch the animated series period.
Dubai Bling (2022)
I wish if there was a ZERO STARS to give this rubbish
I heard many criticism going around this show and never wanted to bother to even watch one min. However, u just heard they want to make a third season so I wanted to check what's its deal. I watched the pilot and it is so cringe I wanted to get everything inside my body out after I finished. I has to keep skipping and yet I didn't miss anything. It's basically "reality show" supposedly about a group of gold diggers and empty minded rich people trying to have problems. Like seriously in their arguments they try as much as they can to have problems or fights. I know nobody will be sharing their actual lives on screen but at least be realistic. The acting is bad the old money new money thing. Even the old money supposedly sound like new money. Every woman walking in this show looks like a moving jewellery box. The actual problem if those who had never visited dubai think that we all live that way!
And again why is this trash getting a third season? I guess because it's a gold comedy source 😂 I mean I had so much fun making comments on them but yet I will never water my time watching one more episode.
Titans (2018)
A disappointment
The worst thing about this show is the comic inaccuracy. It"s not just about making Beast boy asian or starfire black. The characters have nothing to do with the original ones. Raven one of the greatest witches is lost, childish, and she"s too funky to be Raven. StarFire is a badass ruthless. That is not who she is. She's sweet and naive and have difficulties to fit in sometimes. I can't picture her being sent to kill someone. BlackFire being sent to kill someone makes more sense. And the part about their powers and making BlackFire the victim! Batman in this show is a pusy. And his name is Lex Luthor not Luther!
Green Lantern (2011)
Not as horrible as I heard but still not wow.
Just now I got the time to watch the movies that I didn't watch because everyone said they'd horrabl. I enjoyed the movie in general it was not boring at all. It didn't drive me to break my laptop. This movie is an orgion story so everything happened at the buggering was well expected. Some scenes were just in the middle with no purpose and only at the end they put something connecting it to the story. We got some scenes of Hal Jordan and his girlfriend not girlfriend woman that I didn't like casting her at all and still I don't feel connected to them. It's inconvenient how a group of lanterns were handling Parallax. That fight was too much idiotic for a group of super heroes guarding the galaxy for ages. Like make the battle be stronger or tell me that these people are beginners or something. And the final battle come on. Okay it was great but one person could do it with a punch to the sun and a group of people didn't. You want to tell me that just because he got fearless he could defeat that Yellow thing? Hector was actually able to see people's fears not memories in general. The thing that when he touched Joedan he saw him with his girlfriend I don't get the fear here exactly. Is he afraid of loosing her cuz he kept missing things up and she never left him when he got the powers he decided to fly for her which doesn't make any sense. He flew all that way so we get to the line that she talks about how he keeps quiting things and how how he wleven quoted the Green lantern coupe. Couldn't the writer find a better way to do that? As a character development it was not bad. The main theme is about the battle between fear and will. And we could see a character arc. He learned something he overcame his fears and decided to take the responsibility.
My advice if you didn't watch it yet watch it when you are bored and not looking for something wow.
The Last Airbender (2010)
I wish if there is a zero starts in imdb to review this movie.
I am a huge fan of the animated series. And after today I was reading about the future projects related I decided to give it a shot and try the live action one. It's so bad. I was skiping and still am sick of it. I have many problems with this thing and I'm not comparing it to the animated series or the comics but come on we watch everyday adaptations of storied from marvel dc .... when they do changes in the casting or the story telling it makes sense.
Let me start with the casting.
Katara and Sokka in this movie are white! And they don't have the features of the water tribe. There people are brown something like that. And Zuko is brown! Why things are upside down here!! And where is his scar!? The actor playing Iroh is totally out of character. Iron is funny and fat and wise at the same time. They didn't feature him drinking tea at least one time! Forget about all that and the terrible casting for Aang and how the tattoo looks hand painting.
Wolverine (2011)
This thing is horrible
Only God knows why I was watching an this thing that has a very annoying story telling and at the end the woman who he was fighting for dies wtf.
The flashbacks the way they give us the info the monologues the conversation everything is bad. I just continued watching because I didn't want to judge from the beginning. This sounds like the first script I wrote in college.
I don't like the animation style I know it's a Japanese thing but it doesn't work here. Man at least let her live give me a nice ending for this crap
And the voice actor made me hate my life. I need to wash my head after this.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
One of the greatest MCU productions
This movie is so amazing, the only issue is the beggening and how we got introduced to everything was a little bet slow. .otherwise, it's a greate production.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Overrated
The beginning of the movie was so slow. Storu development was slow. It toke me long time to reach act the exciting part of the movie. Onlu the ending was so nice. This mivie could be done in 1:50h.
Iron Fist (2017)
Disappointing
Stories that are related to super powers that come from nature are not suitable for Marvel. This is the best review that I can give. I just watched season one to watch defenders.
I gave 6/10 for the action.
The Defenders (2017)
Good
First of all. You need strongly to watch daredevil season one and two and Iron fist season one. Watching Jessica jones will help you to know both Jessica and Luck cage. I feel no need to watch luck cage. His story is not connected too much to the defenders story.
The was of story telling and connection between characters is amazing.
Bringing Electra to life was a good step to let us understand more the concept of the black sky. But I couldn't understand why did she follow the hand from the beginning while she still has her memory. Is it just to kill stake at the end get the secret that can give her the secret of Eternity.
The iron fist was so disappointing. He didn't do anything really useful to stop the hand. The most one who saved the city is Daredevil. The other two super heroes did a good job too. Also Dani's girlfriend and Clare did a good job. Dani was just kidnapped to open the gate of kun lun which we don't understand what happened about it.
Daredevil (2015)
Wonderful
Daredevil is one of the best marvel characters. It is not showing a perfect person who's just looking for the good. In season 3 we could see another side of Mathew's personality and his conflict with his destiny and who he is.
Am really disappointed because there is no season four. This character is still interesting.
I gave it 9/10 because I hate Karen . It's an annoying character.
The Punisher (2017)
Amazing
This show is one of the best Netflix shows that i had ever seem. The story writing and the acting. The action and the reality in presenting the action and violence sevens.
The relationship between Frank and the Kid in season two is great and full of harmony.
I believe that keeping it two seasons is enough because the story is closed and adding more seasons is just a was of using the audience.
Joker (2019)
Wonderful
This move is one of the movies that I never mind repeat watching. It transferred me to another dark world that makes any one be thinking further about society around us and how the system should be always changed.
The acting is great I have no right to judge.
The Head (2020)
Unexpected
This show could transfer us to another word that many of us have no idea about. I was feeling cold while the temperature is high where I live. The story presenting is so interesting. It had been taken from Agatha Christie's writing style. Strangers living in a place that's in a far point in the earth and one of those people is the killer that want to punish them for their acts.
The acting is great. The cinematography is clear and great. I could be engaged in al characters and be connected to even the characters that didn't live so much.
I gave it 7/10 because of the way how the producers used Remon or the Cook or the actor in La casa de papel to attract audience to watch. It not just about putting his image in the main poster for the first two episodes. It's about making people keep wondering about the character and expecting many of it while it's a secondary character and has nothing interesting. They kept using him till episode 5 to attract people to watch the show. The story is great they didn't need to follow this cheep way.
I want just to know what is the secret in his phone that led him to collaborate with Anka?
For the ending... it was mot expected at all. This was so great from them to take us to a point that nobody would expect. This poor girl did all that'
